When we talk about the impact of BYOD and BYOA and the Internet of Things, we
often focus on the impact on data center architectures. That's because there
will be an increasing need for authentication, for access control, for
security, for application delivery as the number of potential endpoints
(clients, devices, things) increases. That means scale in the data center.
What we gloss over, what we skip, is that before any of these "things" ever
makes a request to access an application it had to execute a DNS query.
Every. Single. Thing.
Maybe that's because we assume DNS can handle the load. So far it's done
well. You rarely, if ever, hear of disruptions or outages due directly to the
execution of DNS. Oh, there has been some issues with misconfiguration of DNS
and of exploitation of DNS (hijacking, illicit use in reflection attacks,

Two visionary Kaazing engineers, David Witherspoon and Prashant Khanal, gave
an exciting presentation at JavaOne this year: JMS, WebSocket, and the
Internet of Things — Controlling Physical Devices on the Real Time Web.
David and Prashant led the audience through the steps of building connected
Things by combining open source hardware, a Raspberry Pi, with real-time Web
communication and messaging, powered by Kaazing.
They started off by demonstrating Kaazing’s remote controlled truck. A
remote member of the team joined the presentation over Skype and used a Web
browser on his smart phone to control the truck in the conference room.
Next, they walked the audience through building similar M2M systems. David
and Prashant used the simplest “machines” for their demonstrations: a
light bulb and a switch, each connected to a Raspberry Pi. All it took was
three basic step... (more)

Riding the current software defined data center (SDC) wave being led by the
likes of VMware and software defined networking (SDN) also championed by
VMware via their acquisition of Nicera last year, Software Defined Marketing
